I got the best surprise when I realized this book is set in Toronto, and that part of the action takes place at Wonderland, as well as other fun spots around Toronto. This was a fun and nostalgic romp, and it made my heart happy!
Khalileh set out to show Arab culture against stereotypes, and she nailed it! I really enjoyed the meet cute between high school students Jamie & Axel and their subsequent plan to make Jamie's ex jealous. This book shares a positive message for teens to embrace their true selves, with Jamie as an example as she overcomes her fears and anxiety.
I would definitely recommend it for tweens and young teens and especially those who may suffer similar bouts of anxiety like Jamie.
